Weekend in review...
Well here we are at Thursday and I have yet to brag it up to you about my FABULOUS weekend. I better get started. Before It's time to talk about THIS weekend, which will be spent WORKING! Now, back to LAST weekend, before depression sets in...It all started with the day of LOVE. I was able to attend a wonderful baby shower for my cute friend SARAH at the beautiful home of her friend Hillary! It was so fun to catch up with my USU buddies!
Then it was home to get ready for my Surprise Valentine's date (made possible by my sweet sis volunteering to baby-sit-Thanks!) Gary was adamant about surprising me because the control freak in me Never let's him. But I tamed the beast within myself and let him...to the point of trying to blind fold me in the car (a story of its own). Anyway, we finally made it to Gateway and I started raddling of the restaurants trying to guess and he wouldn't tell me, but he also didn't know exactly where the restaurant was located. So finally I said "It's FREEZING and we're late..TELL me so I can help you FIND it!" So he did and we headed to Flemming's to meet the rest of our group! WOW! Let's just say we're more the Texas Road House type when it comes to Steak houses, but it. was. heaven. If you haven't been you should save your pennies and go sometime. I had the salmon and it was awesome. After dinner we headed off to the movie. "Confessions of a Shopaholic," a little disappointing, but it was OK!
Sunday morning we headed down t Mesquite. It was really nice to breath some fresh air and see the sun! We hung out with The Cannon clan for the afternoon and Lydi got to spend time with her adorable cousins. the best part...She took her first three steps while trying to escape her Uncle Jimmy (anything to get away from him :) YAY! We were so excited, but we've yet to see an encoure :(
The next morning, in keeping with our annual tradition, we hit the St. George Parade of Homes. We saw a few really neat homes, but mostly just enjoyed being outside a little.
Tuesday morning we woke up, stopped at our favorite, The Bear Paw, for breakfast, and headed home...reminding ourselves to hold off on the road trips until Lydia is old enough to hang a little better!
Wow! Long Post! Thanks Gar, for making my weekend WONDERFUL! I needed it!

A Must See...
Gary and I saw Slum Dog Millioanire a few weeks ago and we both LOVED it. Heaven knows the two of us together make for a tough audience. It's rare for us to find a movie that we BOTH like. in this case we both LOVED it. We were captivated the entire time. It was suspenseful and thrilling while being a beautiful love story. It is a testimaony to the resilliance of the human spirit. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good movie this weekend.*
It definitely ranks as one of my top five all time favorites!
*The movie is rated R. There is really no bad language or sexual content, (some violence) but the overall theme of the film is for mature audiences.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human. ~George Santayana
Well I think it's about time for an update before I lose all my readers. I have been reflecting, the last couple days, on how grateful I am for the good friends, old and new, in my life. I have been so blessed with wonderful, amazing women in my life. I had a great lunch with friends on Friday then saw the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" with another group of friends on Saturday. I'm planning on attending a baby shower with yet another group of friends this Saturday and can't wait. I am so grateful that I have been able to make and maintain friendships from every stage of my life. The women in my life are such wonderful examples to me of what I think a righteous woman should be. They are BEAUTIFUL, DYNAMIC, KIND, GENEROUS, CARING, FUNNY and everything else that is good. So thank you to my friends for lifting me, loving me, making me laugh, showing me the way by your kind and tender examples, and for just being there! I LOVE YOU ALL!
